Don't recall having seen this here before - enjoy ...
A man was walking down the street when he was accosted by a
particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless man who asked him for a
couple of dollars for dinner. The man took out his wallet, extracted
ten dollars and asked, "If I give you this money, will you buy some beer
with it instead?" "No, I had to stop drinking years ago," the homeless
man replied.
"Will you use it to gamble instead of buying food?" the man asked.
"No, I don't gamble," the homeless man said. "I need everything I can
get just to stay alive."
"Will you spend this on greens fees at a golf course instead of food?"
the man asked. "Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless man. "I haven't
played golf in 20 years!"
"Will you spend the money on a woman in the red light district instead
of buying food?" "What disease would I get for ten lousy bucks?"
exclaimed the homeless man.
"Well," said the man, "I'm not going to give you the money. Instead,
I'm going to take you home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife."
The homeless man was astounded. "Won't your wife be furious with you for
doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting."
The man replied, "That's okay. I just want her to see what a man looks
like who has given up beer, gambling, golf, and sex."
